Yellow Fork Canyon Trail is a 6.8 mile heavily trafficked loop trail located near Herriman, Utah that features a river and is rated as moderate. The trail offers a number of activity options and is best used from March until October. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
This is a very nice trail system that gradually climbs its way to a ridge line with fantastic views of the Oquirrh mountains and the Salt Lake Valley.
Small trailhead parking area often filled with trucks pulling horse trailers

November 13, 2020Pretty! Few people on the mountain with cloudy day. Saw wild turkeys and deer.
November 4, 2020October 23, 2020October 17, 2020Nice trail, although much of the trail is covered in fall leaves making it harder to know where you are. I suggest keeping the all trails map running to avoid getting lost.
October 6, 2020Lots of horse and cow dung, but awesome views and a good trail!
October 3, 2020Great
September 27, 2020Tricky to follow. Be sure to download a map before going. Several offshoots along the way that caused me some detours. Shaded early on, then out in the sun as you get to higher elevation on the trail. Pretty views. I ran on this trail--not too steep for that. I went counter clockwise then clockwise. Not sure one way is better.
September 25, 2020great hike, just strenuous enough for a good burn and pretty view at the top.
September 12, 2020Did the whole Loop. I’ve done it both in snow and in Fall. Honestly like it MUCH better in the snow. It’s a great snowshoe trail. Not a great hiking trail
August 28, 2020August 23, 2020August 15, 2020July 30, 2020Lovely trail . Went in the evening and saw deers and cows. The cows were kinda aggressive . Did about 2 miles in and the elevation gain was not much. Perfect for kids as it’s wide, has animals to see and sometimes people get thier horses as well.
July 26, 2020Beautiful hike! Came across some cows but the view at the top was absolutely beautiful! It’s a great loop. Has a perfect mix between steep hills and medium relaxing hiking.
July 17, 2020July 3, 2020One of the best local hikes. Beautifully wooded and shaded at the beginning and end. There are also spectacular views of the Oquirrh & Copper Mountains and the South Valley in the middle. It’s a little rocky in the middle section as well, but overall a nice moderate hike.
July 2, 2020Fun hike, not too many people.
June 20, 2020June 15, 2020fun trail
June 14, 2020Great walking trail. Not too strenuous. Plenty of shade for most of the trail.
June 12, 2020We had shade. Great for littles that need to get out of the house.
June 2, 2020The key to this hike is looking at the all trails map and noting that there are many trails through these hills and each trail has vastly different terrain. When facing the trails from the parking lot the trail to the left or east takes you on top of the mountains (no shade, desert hike, steep with great views). The trail in the middle that starts with the bridge takes you through a shady canyon by a stream (at times) and at the end of May there were lots of flowers. The 3rd way you could go, far right looks to be a road that you can walk along that leads to picnic trails, and has some shade. If you start on one path, you can easily switch to another, as there are lots of trails that cut between the main three paths. *** note this trail is the left most trail that goes across the hill tops. It is longer, steeper and there is not much shade.
May 31, 2020lost a car key 5/30/2020 if found text 8015414147 thanks. great trail by the way!
May 26, 2020This was a great hike for a hot day! Plenty of shade 90% of the way. There are a lot of side trails, so we kinda got lost, and I’m not actually 100% sure what trail we actually ended on. I backpacked my three year old and my awesome 6 year old was a champ and walked it. We did see a few snakes! Also, I read that it is busy, but we got lucky and only saw two other groups along the way.
May 24, 2020Another beautiful Sunday hike!! Crowded today. Everyone seems to be hitting the trails with the stay home orders and everything else closed down! Dang COVID-19!!
May 16, 2020Keep app running. Extremely easy to get off course. But fun and moderately challenging. Beautiful views at the top!
